As the name of this program suggests, Free Youtube to iPad Converter allows you to prepare YouTube clips (FLV or SWF) for iPad devices. It can be easily handled, even by less experienced individuals.

The interface of the application is clean and pretty intuitive. Importing video clips into the file queue can be done with the help of the file browser only, since the "drag and drop" method is unsupported. It is possible to work with multiple items simultaneously.

The file list provides specific details on each video, such as the source name, play time, estimated size and output name. If you do not want to alter the default settings, then you can immediately start the encoding procedure after specifying the output profile and directory.

Otherwise, you can modify audio and video parameters when it comes to the resolution, encoder, frame rate, bit rate, sample rate and channel mode.

Unfortunately, you cannot create output profiles or restore these settings to default. Plus, you can merge all videos from the list into one file, as well as remove an item from the queue.

The video processing program requires a moderate amount of CPU and system memory, in order to complete a job in reasonable time. It is very responsive and manages to preserve a fair image and sound quality of the videos. No errors have occurred during our tests and Free Youtube to iPad Converter did not freeze or crash.

On the downside, you cannot preview clips in a built-in media payer and trim them, specify the thread priority or set Free Youtube to iPad Converter to turn off the computer automatically or to open the output directory after conversion.
